  • That’s… it? You can get knighted for being “fairly good” at your job for half a decade, and then quitting?

    Yes. Knighthood is generally up to the whims of the monarch. Although to make it there, it’s generally expected you have an achievement significant enough to be befitting of one.

    But from what I recall, there’s little stopping his majesty from conferring a knighthood onto Chief Mouser Larry for his research into the napping suitability of 10 Downing Street’s furniture, if he wanted to do that.





  • You really just think we’re gonna follow the most extremely stupid path so your “guns r bad” rhetoric makes sense. FFS, have some respect for what you’re arguing against.

    I mean, we are talking about arming the teaching staff with firearms, rather than having a trained guard who signed up for the task, or addressing the root problems. You’re asking them to either shoot their own students, or other students at the same school. This is not an expected outcome for someone who wants to go into education or stay there because they care for the kids, nor is it starting from a sane position to begin with.

    Its a school, not a military barracks in a war zone.


  • Slightly less obnoxious, but equally ineffective; vote with your hands, your eyes, your feet. Don’t let them steal your labor your attention your time your anything. You can be passive and hold a strike. You van be active and strike back. I think a mix of both would be a lot more effective than just one.

    You can also strike without striking. There’s a huge fuss over “quiet quitting”/“work to rule”, where people are striking by only doing exactly what they’re paid for, rather than adding in the extra that has become the norm. They’re not adding extra hours or pulling extra duties.
